Here are our teams! The first swap day is August 16. Here is an example: I'm on team 5. I will send my layout to karen c. and I will receive one from emarie803. And then I'll begin working on lifting her layout for the next swap day!

Again here are the rules!!Here is how you play:It's a game that is set up in teams. The 1st week every participant chooses their own sketch and interprets it in a layout. On Swap day you pass your layout not the sketch to the next person in your group/team. You all have a week to interpret that layout in your own style and then swap again. Eventually you would have interpreted everyone's sketch and at the end, as in Chinese whispers you see the differences to each person's original sketch from everyone's perspective.

KEY POINTS:**PRIVATE setting must be turned on when uploading your layout to the gallery**On SWAP day you send an image of your layout by Private Message to the next person on your team**When swapping the layouts on Swap day, keep the original owner's name in the subject line of your pmfor example: on the first swap day I will name my pm "joannie's layout" and send it to jackie, who is next on my team. When she sends it, she will also name it "joannie's layout". Makes sense?**Everyone PLEASE try to swap your layouts on time, you don't want to take time away from the next person

On REVEAL DAYYou will pm your 3 completed layouts (the layouts u made) back to the original 3 owners of the sketch (that is why we need to name those pm's). Once the owner receives all 3 layouts from her teammates. I will have made a new post for each team's reveal. You will need to put the layouts in order, by the SKETCH, your layout version, and followed by the others on your team in order (sketch AND 4 layouts).

If you are completely confused...ask me questions. Since this is our first go of this we will probably hit a few bumps!

I picked - or should I say FINALLY made a decision on which sketch I'd use last night, so tonight I plan on hitting the paper.

Just a little warning, though, for sending early. I was in a circle journal (well, many circle journals) and if we didn't send on or about the day we were supposed, mass chaos ensued. . . I'd suggest at least sending it with a "This is the layout for such and such a day" swap. Sometimes a gal gets two at once, when you do it that way. Just saying. . . (Not to be a wet wrap saying this, because I'm excited!!)

I can see that happening! My brain is a little fried these days! I can see me confusing the layouts!
